I'd respect someone with a degree in Gender Studies/Philosophy/Art History/whatever more than someone with a degree from their university's business college in Business Admin or Communications or whatever. They'll have learned more useful knowledge from it, too.

Uh....that's a joke, right?

A gender studies degree is meh. Not too vocational, could be good or vad sign.

One of those degrees, unless you like middle management, on the other hand.... they're regarded as sort-of "not degrees", in academia, a fair bit, at least.

Isn't the IQ test not really supposed to measure intelligence, but brain development anyways?

I seem to recall reading that it's supposed to measure learning capacity. Or learning ability. How easy/quickly you can learn a new concept. Something like that.

I'm neither a business major or a lib arts major, but if I was hiring someone for a business and had to choose between the two I'd pick the business major unless some shit quota absolutely forced me to hire lib arts majors. A business major at least implies you know something about business and management. I assume.

IQ is a rough metric of how smart you are. People with higher IQs have better cognitive ability and general knowledge. My IQ is 190, which means I am vastly superior to the rest of you pheasants.

A customer locked their kid in the car today. Another customer saw the kid trying to get out, and informed my sister. We make an announcement over the store PA, and just as we were about to call the police, the parent comes for their kid. Apparently, she thought our threat to call the police was pretty funny, she was laughing about it.

...Yeah, probably should have called the police anyway.

You appear to have stuck an extra 0 on end of your IQ score, there.

I belive he also added extra 19 to the front.

You know the internet "IQ tester" sites give you a simple test and trick you into buying a certificate of high-IQ, right? Same as with Who's Who lists.

Well, shit.

Oh. That's why people were freaking out over the ringo starr tweet more than i expected them to.

I actually scored like 95 on one of those internet IQ testers which was pretty embarrassing. I didn't even know they went that low.

[cochramd]

Don't feel that bad; 70 IQ points is more or less the cutoff for a fully functional human being.

[hops]

At first I parsed that as average human being, which confused me because that would be IQ 100 by definition.

But IQ is a vacuous term anyways. Even if you don't think it's completely useless, it's still split into different parts which don't make sense when put together as an overall IQ score.

Also, IQ pattern tests are probably made by so eone with schizophrenia.

Edit: I tried one of those online tests because reasons. I think it's heavily skewed in favor of people who are good at mathematics because I got 140.
